I can still see you now Just a child with only dreams to hold on to You were wild, the world outside Was calling out to you Just look at you now You're going all the way Rags to riches See your name in lights From rags to riches To a shining star From a ghetto child I can still hear you say The day would come When the world know your name We all laughed Now look at us And look at you today Now you have is all Never look back again Rags to riches See your name in lights From rags to riches To a shining star From a ghetto child Sometimes, at night Do you reach back to the past Those times Remind you of who you really are You'll always be The same girl to me Just chase that dream Just look at you now You're going all the way Rags to riches See your name in lights From rags to riches To a shining star From a ghetto child Rags to riches See your name in lights From rags to riches To a shining star From a ghetto child Rags to riches Rags to riches, oh
